Beside the woman, a young and beautiful woman saw the woman's expression and asked, "Sister, why do you look like that?"
The woman's gaze followed Xiang Bei, who had already walked far away. She said, "I like a young master, but that young master has already married and had children. I feel that it's a pity."
"So what?" The other woman chuckled. "Back then, your brother-in-law also married and had children. Didn't he still marry and have children with me?"
The woman who had spoken was none other than Pang Wan, who had married Xiao Yu.
Pang Wan's words shocked her sister, Pang Qing. She had always thought that her sister and brother-in-law loved each other. What was going on?
Pang Qing asked in confusion, "But brother-in-law said that he hasn't married and had children?"
"Of course he wouldn't dare to say that he's married and had children. He's just a poor scholar, and I'm the Grand Preceptor's daughter. If he said that he's married and had children, wouldn't that mean that he wants me to be his concubine?
Would he dare? "
Pang Qing was shocked when she heard Pang Wan say that she already knew that Xiao Yu had married and had children.
At the wedding banquet, Xiao Yu had sworn to the heavens that he would only love Pang Wan in his life. At that time, many people had been envious. How could today …
Could it be that the love between Xiao Yu and her sister was all fake?
Pang Qing could not imagine that a man who had sworn to his family that he would only love her sister had already married and had children outside.
"Since Sister already knows that he's married and has children, why did you still marry him?"
"The man I like can only be mine." After Pang Wan finished speaking, she poked Pang Qing's forehead exasperatedly. "You're so stubborn. All men are the same. As long as you give him enough benefits, he will definitely abandon his wife and children for you. Just you wait, I'll get Father to look for him tomorrow. He will definitely agree to marry you."
Pang Wan asked her father to look for Xiang Bei.
Pang Qing's first reaction was that if Xiang Bei could abandon his wife and children for benefits, then he would naturally abandon her for greater benefits in the future.
However, just as Pang Qing was about to speak, he recalled Xiang Bei's handsome face and hearty smile. He swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth.
As long as someone like Xiang Bei was willing to marry her, he would not abandon his wife and children.
Moreover, his wife was only a vulgar merchant's daughter, while she was the Grand Preceptor's beloved daughter. Wasn't it obvious who he would choose between the two?
With these thoughts in mind, Pang Qing did not stop Pang Wan.
After Xiang Bei rode his horse around, he stopped in front of Jiujiu's shop.
The people who followed Xiang Bei's procession saw Xiang Bei dismount from his horse and walk into the shop.
Jiujiu, who was designing clothes for a customer, came out when she heard Xiang Dong's voice. She saw Xiang Bei, who was wearing the top scorer's outfit.
Seeing Jiujiu, Xiang Bei walked towards Jiujiu and revealed a brilliant smile. "Wife, I'm back."
Although she knew that Xiang Bei would be the top scorer, it was another thing to see it with her own eyes. Jiujiu threw herself into Xiang Bei's arms in surprise. "Congratulations, husband. You've gotten what you wanted."
Xiang Bei hugged Jiujiu tightly and whispered in Jiujiu's ear, "Wife, I'm finally worthy of you."
Jiujiu was speechless.
She had never felt that Xiang Bei was not worthy of her. In fact, from a certain point of view, she was not worthy of Xiang Bei.
However, she did not expect Xiang Bei to think that he was not worthy of her. He even said that he was finally worthy of her after he became the top scorer.
It was obvious that she held a high position in Xiang Bei's heart.
Jiujiu looked at Xiang Bei, and Xiang Bei looked at Jiujiu. Jiujiu smiled and raised her hand to touch Xiang Bei's cheek. She smiled and said, "Husband, don't say such silly things in the future."
Xiang Bei chuckled at Jiujiu's words. Then he held Jiujiu's hand and walked into the inner room.
When the embroiderers in the room saw Jiujiu and Xiang Bei walk into the room hand in hand, they were all envious.
Xiang Bei had been studying in the room, and Jiujiu had been supporting the family business outside. Although they did not say it out loud, the embroiderers secretly felt that Jiujiu had found a gigolo.
But now, seeing that Xiang Bei was the top scorer, the embroiderers changed their minds. They felt that Jiujiu had a good eye for the audition and found a potential actor like Xiang Bei before he could shine.
When Jiujiu and Xiang Bei returned to the inner courtyard, the two children who were playing with steamed buns immediately pounced on Xiang Bei.
When Li Shoujie saw Xiang Bei's brightly colored top scorer's robe, he said, "Daddy's robe is so beautiful. Xiao Jie wants it too."
Xiang Bei bent down and picked up Li Shoujie. He smiled and said, "This robe is the only one in the world. If Xiao Jie wants to wear it, you have to be the top scorer."
When he heard Xiang Bei say that only the top scorer could wear this robe, Li Shoujie's little chest was filled with lofty aspirations. "Then I also want to be the top scorer."
Jiujiu pinched the tip of Li Shoujie's little nose. "Then Mother will wait for Xiao Jie to be the top scorer."
Li Shoujie laughed mischievously. His face was filled with innocence.
After resting at home for a few days, Xiang Bei took up his post.
Although Xiang Bei was a new official, he was appointed by the Emperor, so no one made things difficult for him.
When Xiang Bei returned home, he was stopped by Imperial Tutor Pang, who invited Xiang Bei to his home for tea.
Although Xiang Bei was a new official, he still heard about Imperial Tutor Pang's character.
Imperial Tutor Pang was the Emperor's benevolent teacher, so the Emperor trusted and respected Imperial Tutor Pang very much.
If an ordinary person was treated like this by the Emperor, they would tremble with fear and be careful. But Imperial Tutor Pang relied on the Emperor's trust and respect to form cliques in the court. Now, he had become a thorn in the Emperor's side.
Otherwise, the Emperor would not be so impatient to let Xiang Bei, the new top scorer, take up his post.
Although Imperial Tutor Pang seemed to be a fresh flower, he was actually adding oil to the fire. Xiang Bei felt that this was his last glory.
Xiang Bei was loyal to the Emperor. Naturally, he would politely decline Imperial Tutor Pang, who the Emperor wanted to make a fuss about.
So when Imperial Tutor Pang took the initiative to invite him to his home for tea, Xiang Bei directly said that he had something to do at home and could not disturb him.
However, Xiang Bei did not expect that Imperial Tutor Pang would still insist. Since he could not go to his home to drink tea, then he would ride in the same carriage and let him send Xiang Bei.
Imperial Tutor Pang's words were like this. Xiang Bei did not know how to appreciate favors if he refused.
Xiang Bei could only nod his head in agreement.
Imperial Tutor Pang had a high position and power. Naturally, his carriage was much more comfortable than an ordinary person's carriage. When he walked, it was as if he was walking on flat ground.
However, Xiang Bei had a different philosophy. Sitting in Imperial Tutor Pang's carriage was like sitting on pins and needles. He tossed and turned in discomfort.
Imperial Tutor Pang did not notice Xiang Bei's discomfort at all. He only asked about Xiang Bei's family situation with a smile on his face.
